Tower Songs: Townes Van Zandt

Townes Van Zandt - Tower Song
I'll Be There in the Morning offers an affectionate but hardly rose-colored view of Townes Van Zandt and his influence on other songwriters. The 1st of January 2012 marked the 15th anniversary of singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt's death. By most accounts, Van Zandt's final days were hard ones, as his years of substance abuse wore him down before exacting their final price. Unsurprisingly, this only added to the legend of Van Zandt, even though he was already regarded as one of the best songwriters to ever come out of Texas. Like Hank Williams before him (who also died...

Single Song Sunday: If I Needed You (17 solo, duo, & full band transformations of a Townes Van Zandt classic)

Single Song Sunday: If I Needed You (17 solo, duo, & full band transformations of a Townes Van Zandt classic) Apocryphally, If I Needed You came to Townes Van Zandt wholesale, in a dream, wherein he envisioned himself a famous folksinger, and the song as his biggest hit. When he awoke, he wrote the song down, changing but one line in transcription, and the rest, as they say, is history. Of course, Townes did indeed become famous, though partially posthumously, and surely not on the same scale as he envisioned in his nocturnal emissions. But as I've noted several times in these virtual pages, I discovered the work of [...]

Bloggy Goodness: Capitol Theatre To Reopen

Bloggy Goodness: Capitol Theatre To Reopen It's safe to say that a majority of our readers are quite familiar with the musical history of Port Chester, New York's Capitol Theatre . Built in 1926 and designed by the architect Thomas W. Lamb, who also designed the United Palace Theater in Upper Manhattan, the theater may be most famous for hosting the Grateful Dead an astonishing 18 times during an 11-month period, but also saw just about every major and influential music act grace its stage from Pink Floyd, Traffic, Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin (who played her next-to-last show there) in the early 19702s to [...]

Mark Erelli Covers: Townes Van Zandt, Roy Orbison, Paul Simon, Porter Wagoner & 12 more!

I've been a Mark Erelli fan ever since I saw him on stage at the 1999 Green River Festival, just two years after his 3 a.m. discovery at a folk conference hotel room jam. I was thrilled by the release of 2001 breakthrough album Compass and Companion, which brought several singles to local folk-and-roots radio station WRSI thanks to their close connection with the Signature Sounds label. And since then, I've discovered multiple connections between us - among them, a love of coverage, a love for the history and natural imagery of New England, [...]

townes van zandt

via Tamara Zavino Fifteen years on, Brian T. Atkinson's I'll Be Here in the Morning: The Songwriting Legacy of Townes Van Zandt spotlights the elegant ("To Live's To Fly") and engaging ("For the Sake of the Song") lyricist's significant impact on songwriting peers and followers. "'Pancho and Lefty' changed—it unchained—my idea of what a song could be," folk icon John Gorka says midway through the new book, a tightly woven collection of more than 40 interviews with artists deeply impacted by Van Zandt's singular poetry. Several living legends – including Guy Clark, [...]

60s Six Pack

I love my iTunes smart playlists, especially my "60s Best" group, which gathers every song in my library made between 1960 and 1969 that I've rated four or five stars. Currently that count sits at 1,280 songs. Of all my smart playlists this one most consistently turns in great mixes. I was playing it yesterday and it spun out this series of gems, including my favorite Donovan song and Hearts & Flowers' "Try for the Sun," which I realized on hearing last night might be one of my top five all-time favorite songs.
